Authentic Japanese Cuisine

If you’re looking for a cozy Japanese restaurant, Ramen Taiko is the place to go. Situated in Mont Kiara Shoplex, Ramen Taiko started out as a traditional ramen restaurant in 2003 but throughout the years they have added a variety of Japanese dishes to their menu. Although the amount of non-ramen items on the menu outnumbers the ramen choices, the ramen recipe still retained its taste since Ramen Taiko’s creation. Returning Japanese patrons have expressed that Ramen Taiko’s ramen soup base’s taste and the dishes served is truly authentic.

They also have a-la-carte side dishes like Gyoza with filling made from Ramen Taiko’s own recipe, crispy Tori Karaage, and various sushi rolls and grilled items which complements their ramen beautifully. If you’re not a fan of noodles, Ramen Taiko also serves a variety of teishoku; Japanese style meal sets and rice bowls with toppings known as donburi.

This is a little Japanese Cafe situated at Shoplex Mont Kiara, and it prides itself serving a good range of Ramen. I've visited there once and ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. The portion is rather big here. The broth is thick and creamy looking, but unfortunately quite underseasoned and not as flavourful as I expected, I had to add quite a bit of soy sauce. Noodles were decent though and the Char Siu were quite tender, though forgettable.

The Salmon Sashimi (RM25++) are sliced really thick here and I could barely finish 5 slices of them in one seating, I suppose that's a good complaint.
